Dear Colleagues,


As you may recall from our meetings in Amsterdam in May, WITSA is
initiating a major study of the impact of ICT. This request for
expressions of interest (EOI) sets out the specifications and
output requirements for the study, to undertake the study from
qualified research organizations and institutions including but
not limited to: colleges, universities, nongovernmental
organizations, consortium, foundations, and corporations.
Subsequently from short-listed organizations, a Request for
Proposal (RFP) will then be issued seeking a more detailed
response.


We would greatly appreciate your assistance in sending this EOI
to any interested parties among your memberships and beyond.
Responses must reach the WITSA Secretary General at
[1]jpoisant at witsa.org not later than close of business on
Tuesday, August 31, 2010. Please find the details of the EOI at
[2]http://www.witsa.org/v2/request/EOI.htm.


The completed study output will be publicly accessible via the
WITSA web site (www.witsa.org) and comprise a range of media (the
ICT Impact portal) setting out both theoretical and
evidence-based impacts of ICT. These impacts will initially focus
on the economic as well as social and cultural impacts. WITSA is
keen for the ICT Impact portal to comprise analyses with
resilient, dynamic links to key indicators, so that it maintains
currency and relevance to users over time.


For more information, please contact WITSA Public Policy Advisor
Tim Conway at [3]tim at witsa.org.


Again, we appreciate your help in circulating this information to
potentially interested parties.


Best regards,

Anders
